It ain't over 'til it's over....

Well, dog is now better, and we have passed the first round of lurgy. Just waiting for the second round to start, as there are now reports of the flu poking it's head up, with the normal and the swine kind. So just to save you up on the forthcoming media hysteria, we are all gonna die.

And now for something completely different.
I have been getting some pretty fabrics. Some have a purpose, some I bought just in a whim. It was also the little ones birthday, so got her some little pressies.
Weather has been the usual poop. Lots of wind, rain, and grimness...

 A little something for the little one.....

 This one cost more than I would've wanted to pay, but hey ho.......

 Throw the stiiiiick, the stiiiiiiiccckkkkkk.....

Multisize patterns. Not fond of them, but they are handy....

 Ordered this fabric from a little american fabric shop, as I couldn't not find this fleece anywhere in the UK. Just waiting for the lining fabric to come, so I can finish my bodywarmer made from this....

 Various bits, 1 m pieces, so need to figure out what to make from them....

 This is my answer to the gloomy weather, made a maxiskirt for myself, and lil'un got a skirt too.

Now back to my knitting, so I can finally get  the project done, so I can start another.... :) Keep them hands busy, otherwise I will get depressed and homesick.

Toodledoo for now, hope everybody is all safe and cosy, keeping warm.

The realm of snot..

My little one was lurgied last week, my other half still is, and now I have a hedgehog lodged in my throat, and lungs collecting gunk. Gotta love the lurgy season.
I'm knitting a little snood style scarf, and after that I'm going to attempt to try out Karelian embroidery style that is commonly used in Kaspaikka, which is a linen towel usually hung on orthodox icons. Also used in the entrance of a house, so coming in you would wash your hands before entering the living area.
Will see when I get to try this out though, as my lurgy is still in early stages, will see how stuffed I feel by the end of the evening....
At least it is actually sunny, a very welcome thing after a week of dark heavy grey clouds of rain, and stormy winds.
